Principal Diversified Income recently announced tweaks to its team and approach. Effective the second quarter of 2022, it will shift some assets from U.S. equity into U.S. investment-grade bonds and focus primarily on fixed income.

These changes build on the team’s previous modifications to emphasize fixed income and do not influence each share’s Morningstar Analyst Rating, which range from Neutral to Negative.
